Harbinger Solution

Harbinger developed a Web Service Interface using WCF framework and hosted endpoints to make data selectively accessible. This enabled sharing of pharmacy and drug data and maintaining the privacy of patient data.

Harbinger implemented interactive sharing options based on notification model using SMS and emails. Physicians could select a pharmacy and send the prescription via SMS or Emails and system would then send similar notification to Patients to enable them to collect drugs prescribed to them. Harbinger utilized native GPS and Google Maps services to enhance interactivity and user experience and integrated SMS gateway provided by client.

Harbinger devised data caching technique for faster access. This technique stored the drugs information in encrypted form on the device with enhanced security.
